Open EML File

File extension EML is most commonly
associated with an Outlook Express Electronic Mail (E-Mail) file. EML files are
plaintext files used for storing an E-Mail message, and whilst they are used
primarily by Microsoft Outlook Express, most other E-Mail clients can import
and read them.

EML files contain the contents of an E-Mail
message. This consists of a short header, which includes the E-Mail address of
the sender and the recipient, as well as the subject and the time and date that
the message was sent, and the main body of the E-Mail. As EML files are
plaintext and have a standard file structure, almost all E-Mail clients are
able to import them, and so the format is used to transfer E-Mails between
different applications. EML files may also be E-Mail template files, which are
essentially standard EML files albeit with information already filled in, such
as the recipients, or text already added to the message body, such as a
signature. This is particularly useful for E-Mails which are repeatedly sent to
the same group of people or if a signature is required at the end of every
E-Mail as this information is automatically added whenever a message using the
EML template is composed.

EML files may also contain hyperlinks or
linked attachments, so although they pose no risk themselves, they can link to
malware such as viruses or spyware, so care should be exercised when opening
EML files, particularly from unknown senders.

EML files can be opened using Microsoft
Outlook Express, as well as most other E-Mail clients such as Microsoft
Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and IncrediMail. EML files are plaintext, so can
also be opened and relatively easily read using any text editor. EML files are
structured in the same format as File extension MHT (MIME HTML), meaning that they can also be
opened in web browsers such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Opera.
